RIP Commands

Use the commands in this chapter to configure and monitor Routing Information Protocol (RIP). For RIP configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring Routing Information Protocol" chapter of the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide.

auto-summary (RIP)

To restore the default behavior of automatic summarization of subnet routes into network-level routes, use the auto-summary command in router configuration mode. Todisable this function and send subprefix routing information across classful network boundaries, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description

Defaults

Command Modes

Command History

Release

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Route summarization reduces the amount of routing information in the routing tables.

RIP Version 1 always uses automatic summarization. If you are using RIP Version 2, you can turn off automatic summarization by specifying the no auto-summary command. Disable automatic summarization if you must perform routing between disconnected subnets. When automatic summarization is off, subnets are advertised.

Examples

In the following example, network numbers are not summarized automatically:

router rip

version 2

no auto-summary

default-information originate

To generate a default route into Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the default-information originate command in router configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

default-information originate [route-mapmap-name]

no default-information originate

Syntax Description

route-map map-name

(Optional) Routing process will generate the default route if the route map is satisfied.

Defaults

This command is disabled by default.

Command Modes

Command History

Release

Modification

11.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The route map referenced in the default-information originate command cannot use an extended access list; it can use a standard access list.

Examples

The following example originates a default route (0.0.0.0/0) over a certain interface when 172.68.0.0/16 is present. Applying a condition (in this case a route map) to determine when the default route is originated is called "conditional default origination."

default-metric (RIP)

To set default metric values for Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the default-metric command in router configuration mode. To return to the default state, use the no form of this command.

default-metric number-value

no default-metric [number-value]

Syntax Description

number-value

Default metric value.

Defaults

Built-in, automatic metric translations, as appropriate for each routing protocol. The metric of redistributed connected and static routes is set to 0.

Command Modes

Router configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The default-metric command is used in conjunction with the redistribute router configuration command to cause the current routing protocol to use the same metric value for all redistributed routes. A default metric helps solve the problem of redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. Whenever metrics do not convert, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and enables the redistribution to proceed.

Note When enabled, the default-metric command applies a metric value of 0 to redistributed connected routes. The default-metric command does not override metric values that are applied with the redistribute command.

Examples

The following example shows a router in autonomous system 109 using both the RIP and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocols. The example advertises OSPF-derived routes using RIP and assigns the OSPF-derived routes a RIP metric of 10.

router rip

Related Commands

Command

Description

redistribute (IP)

Redistributes routes from one routing domain into another routing domain.

distribute-list in (RIP, IGRP, EIGRP)

To filter networks received in updates, use the distribute-list in command in address family or router configuration mode. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description

Standard IP access list number. The list defines which networks are to be received and which are to be suppressed in routing updates.

prefix prefix-list-name

Name of a prefix list. The list defines which networks are to be received and which are to be suppressed in routing updates, based upon matching the network prefix to the prefixes in the list.

gateway prefix-list-name

(Optional) Name of the prefix list to be applied to the gateway of the prefix being updated.

out

Applies the access list to outgoing routing updates.

interface-name

(Optional) Name of a particular interface.

routing-process

(Optional) Name of a particular routing process, or the keyword static or connected.

as-number

(Optional) Autonomous system number.

Defaults

This command is disabled by default.

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

11.2

The access-list-number argument was added.

12.0

The prefix-list-name argument was added.

12.0(7)T

Address family configuration mode was added.

Usage Guidelines

When redistributing networks, a routing process name can be specified as an optional trailing argument to the distribute-list command. Specifying an argument causes the access list or prefix list to be applied to only those routes derived from the specified routing process. After the process-specific access list or prefix list is applied, any access list or prefix list specified by a distribute-list command without a process name argument will be applied. Addresses not specified in the distribute-list command will not be advertised in outgoing routing updates.

Specify either an access list or a prefix list with the distribute-list incommand.

Use the gateway keyword only with the prefix-list keyword.

Note To filter networks received in updates, use the distribute-list in command.

Examples

The following example causes only one network (network 131.108.0.0) to be advertised by a RIP routing process:

flash-update-threshold

To suppress regularly scheduled flash updates, use the flash-update-threshold command in router configuration mode. To return to the default state, use the no form of this command.

flash-update-threshold seconds

no flash-update-threshold

Syntax Description

seconds

The time interval in seconds for which the suppression of flash updates can be configured.

Defaults

This command is disabled by default.

Command Modes

Router configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

12.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command suppresses flash updates when the arrival of a regularly scheduled update matches the number of seconds that is configured with the seconds argument. The range of seconds that can be configure is from 0 to 30 seconds. If the number of seconds matches the number of seconds or is less than the number seconds that is configured with the seconds argument, the flash update is suppressed. If the numbers seconds until the flash update arrives exceeds the number of seconds that is configured with the seconds argument, the flash update is not suppressed. The regular scheduled interval for flash updates and the configuration of the suppression of flash updates can be verified with the show ip protocol command.

Examples

The following example configures a router to suppress a regularly scheduled flash update if the update is due in 10 seconds or less:

router rip

flash-update-threshold 10

input-queue

The input-queue command defines the number of received, but not yet processed RIP update packets contained in the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) input queue. Use the input-queue command in router configuration mode. To remove the configured depth and restore the default depth, use the no form of this command.

input-queuedepth

no input-queue

Syntax Description

depth

Numerical value associated with the maximum number of packets in the RIP input queue. The larger the numerical value, the larger the depth of the queue. The range is from 0 to 1024. The default is 50.

Defaults

A depth of 50.

Modification

11.0

This command was introduced.

12.2(33)SRA

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Consider using the input-queue command if you have a high-end router that is sending at high speed to a low-speed router that might not be able to receive at the high speed. Configuring this command will help prevent the routing table from losing information.

Another way to prevent the routing table from losing information is to use the output-delay command to change the interpacket delay for RIP updates.

Examples

The following example sets the depth of the RIP input queue to 100:

router rip

input-queue 100

ip rip triggered

To enable triggered extensions to Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the ip rip triggered command in interface configuration mode. To disable triggered extensions to RIP, use the no form of this command.

ip rip triggered

noip rip triggered

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

This command is disabled by default.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

12.0(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When triggered extensions to RIP are enabled, routing updates are sent on the WAN only if one of the following events occurs:

•Information from another interface modifies the routing database. (Only latest changes are sent.)

•The interface comes up or goes down. (Partial database is sent.)

•The router is first powered on, to ensure that at least one update is sent. (Full database is sent.)

You might want to enable this feature if you are using an on-demand circuit and you are charged for usage time. Fewer routing updates will incur lower usage costs.

Entries in the routing database can be either temporary or semipermanent. Entries learned from broadcasts on LANs are temporary; they will expire if not periodically refreshed by more broadcasts.

Entries learned from a triggered response on the WAN are semipermanent; they do not time out like other entries. Certain events can cause these routes to time out, such as the interface going down, or if the outgoing interface is the same as the incoming interface. Neighbor updates of the routes with a metric of 16 (infinity) mean the route is unreachable, and those routes are eventually removed from the routing table.

Examples

The following example enables triggered extensions to RIP:

interface serial 0

ip rip triggered

Related Commands

Displays the contents of the RIP private database when triggered extensions to RIP are enabled.

ip rip v2-broadcast

To allow Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 2 update packets to be sent as broadcast packets instead of multicast packets, use the rip v2-broadcast command in interface configuration mode. To disable the broadcast of IP RIP Version 2 update packets that are sent as broadcast packets, use the no form of this command.

ip rip v2-broadcast

no ip rip v2-broadcast

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

This command is disabled by default. Unless the ip rip v2-broadcast commend is entered, RIP Version 2 update packets are sent as multicast packets.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

12.1(5)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip rip v2-broadcast command to broadcast RIP Version 2 broadcast updates to hosts that do not listen to multicast broadcasts. Version 2 updates (requests and responses) will be sent to the IP broadcast address 255.255.255.255 instead of the IP multicast address 244.0.0.9.

In order to reduce unnecessary load on those hosts that are not listening to RIP Version 2 broadcasts, the system uses an IP multicast address for periodic broadcasts. The IP multicast address is 244.0.0.9.

Note It is not necessary to configure Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) because the periodic broadcasts are interrouter messages that are not forwarded.

If the ip rip v2-broadcast command has not been entered, the output from the debug ip rip command verifies that the RIP Version 2 IP broadcast updates are being sent to the IP multicast address 244.0.0.9:

ip split-horizon (RIP)

To enable the split horizon mechanism, use the ip split-horizon command in interface configuration mode. To disable the split horizon mechanism, use the no form of this command.

ip split-horizon

no ip split-horizon

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Default behavior varies with media type.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

For all interfaces except those for which either Frame Relay or Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) encapsulation is enabled, the default condition for this command is ip split-horizon; in other words, the split horizon feature is active. If the interface configuration includes either the encapsulation frame-relay or encapsulation smds command, then the default is for split horizon to be disabled. Split horizon is not disabled by default for interfaces using any of the X.25 encapsulations.

Note For networks that include links over X.25 packet switched networks (PSNs), the neighbor router configuration command can be used to defeat the split horizon feature. You can as an alternative explicitly specify the noip split-horizon command in your configuration. However, if you do so you must similarly disable split horizon for all routers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.

Note If split horizon has been disabled on an interface and you want to enable it, use the ip split-horizon command to restore the split horizon mechanism.

Note In general, changing the state of the default for the ip split-horizon command is not recommended, unless you are certain that your application requires a change in order to properly advertise routes. If split horizon is disabled on a serial interface (and that interface is attached to a PSN), you must disable split horizon for all routers and access servers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.

Examples

The following simple example disables split horizon on a serial link. The serial link is connected to an X.25 network.

interface serial 0

encapsulation x25

no ip split-horizon

ip summary-address rip

To configure a summary aggregrate address under an interface for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the ip summary-address rip command in interface configuration mode. To disable summarization of the specified address or subnet, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description

Defaults

RIP automatically summarizes to classful network boundaries.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

12.0(6)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The ip summary-address rip command is used to summarize an address or subnet under a specific interface. RIP automatically summarizes to classful network boundaries. Only one summary address can be configured for each classful subnet.

Examples

In the following example the major network is 10.0.0.0. The summary address 10.2.0.0 overrides the autosummary address of 10.0.0.0, so that 10.2.0.0 is advertised out Ethernet interface 1 and 10.0.0.0 is not advertised.

neighbor (RIP)

To define a neighboring router with which to exchange routing information, use the neighbor command in router configuration mode. To remove an entry, use the noform of this command.

neighbor ip-address

no neighbor ip-address

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of a peer router with which routing information will be exchanged.

Defaults

No neighboring routers are defined.

Command Modes

Router configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command permits the point-to-point (nonbroadcast) exchange of routing information. When it is used in combination with the passive-interface router configuration command, routing information can be exchanged between a subset of routers and access servers on a LAN.

Multiple neighbor commands can be used to specify additional neighbors or peers.

Examples

In the following example, RIP updates are sent to all interfaces on network 10.108.0.0 except Ethernet interface 1. However, in this case a neighbor router configuration command is included. This command permits the sending of routing updates to specific neighbors. One copy of the routing update is generated per neighbor.

Related Commands

network (RIP)

To specify a list of networks for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing process, use the network command in router configuration mode. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

network ip-address

no network ip-address

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the network of directly connected networks.

Defaults

No networks are specified.

Command Modes

Command History

Release

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The network number specified must not contain any subnet information. There is no limit to the number of network commands you can use on the router. RIP routing updates will be sent and received only through interfaces on this network.

RIP sends updates to the interfaces in the specified networks. Also, if the network of an interface is not specified, the interface will not be advertised in any RIP update.

Examples

The following example defines RIP as the routing protocol to be used on all interfaces connected to networks 10.99.0.0 and 192.168.7.0:

router rip

network 10.99.0.0

network 192.168.7.0

Related Commands

offset-list

To add an offset to incoming and outgoing metrics to routes learned via Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the offset-list command in router configuration mode. To remove an offset list, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description

Standard access list number to be applied. Access list number 0 indicates all access lists. If offset is 0, no action is taken. For IGRP, the offset is added to the delay component only.

access-list-name

Standard access list name to be applied.

in

Applies the access list to incoming metrics.

out

Applies the access list to outgoing metrics.

offset

Positive offset to be applied to metrics for networks matching the access list. If the offset is 0, no action is taken.

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

10.3

The interface-type andinterface-number arguments were added.

11.2

The access-list-name argument was added.

Usage Guidelines

The offset value is added to the routing metric. An offset list with an interface type and interface number is considered extended and takes precedence over an offset list that is not extended. Therefore, if an entry passes the extended offset list and the normal offset list, the offset of the extended offset list is added to the metric.

Examples

In the following example, the router applies an offset of 10 to the delay component of a router only to access list 21:

offset-list 21 out 10

In the following example, the router applies an offset of 10 to routes learned from Ethernet interface 0:

offset-list 21 in 10 ethernet 0

output-delay

To change the interpacket delay for Routing Information Protocol (RIP) updates sent, use the output-delay command in router configuration mode. To remove the delay, use the no form of this command.

Command History

Release

Modification

12.0(6)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Summary address entries will appear in the database only if relevant child routes are being summarized. When the last child route for a summary address becomes invalid, the summary address is also removed from the routing table.

The RIP private database is populated only if triggered extensions to RIP are enabled with the ip rip triggered command.

Examples

The following output shows a summary address entry for route 10.11.0.0/16, with three child routes active:

Router# show ip rip database

10.0.0.0/8 auto-summary

10.11.11.0/24 directly connected, Ethernet2

The following is sample output from the show ip rip database command with a prefix and mask:

The destination 172.19.65.0/24 is learned via RIP. There are two sources advertising it. One is 172.19.70.36 via Serial interface0, and it was updated 17 seconds ago. The other source is 172.19.67.38 via Serial interface 1, and it was updated 25 seconds ago.

Related Commands

timers basic

To adjust Routing Information Protocol (RIP) network timers, use the timers basic command in router configuration mode. To restore the default timers, use the no form of this command.

timers basicupdate invalid holddown flush

no timers basic

Syntax Description

update

Rate (in seconds) at which updates are sent. This is the fundamental timing parameter of the routing protocol. The default is 30 seconds.

invalid

Interval of time (in seconds) after which a route is declared invalid. The interval should be at least three times the value of update time. The interval is measured from the last update received for the route. The route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates during the invalid time that refresh the route. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route still forwards packets until the flush interval expires. The default is 180 seconds.

holddown

Interval (in seconds) during which routing information regarding better paths is suppressed. The interval should be at least three times the value of update time. A route enters into a holddown state when an update packet is received that indicates the route is unreachable. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route continues to forward packets until an update is received with a better metric or until the holddown time expires. When the holddown expires, routes advertised by other sources are accepted and the route is no longer inaccessible. The default is 180 seconds.

flush

Amount of time (in seconds) that must pass before the route is removed from the routing table. The interval is measured from the last update received for the route. The interval should be longer than the larger of the invalid and holddown values. If the interval is less than the sum of the update and holddown values, the proper holddown interval cannot elapse, which results in a new route being accepted before the holddown interval expires. The default is 240 seconds.

Defaults

Release

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The basic timing parameters for RIP are adjustable. Because RIP is executing a distributed, asynchronous routing algorithm, these timers must be the same for all routers and access servers in the network.

Note The current and default timer values can be seen by inspecting the output of the show ip protocols EXEC command. The relationships of the various timers should be preserved as described previously.

Examples

The following example sets updates to be broadcast every 5 seconds. If a router is not heard from in 15 seconds, the route is declared unusable. Further information is suppressed for an additional 15 seconds. At the end of the suppression period, the route is flushed from the routing table.

router rip

timers basic 5 15 15 30

Note By setting a short update period, you run the risk of congesting slow-speed serial lines. A short update period can be a concern on faster-speed Ethernets and T1-rate serial lines. Also, if you have many routes in your updates, you can cause the routers to spend an excessive amount of time processing updates.

validate-update-source

To have the Cisco IOS software validate the source IP address of incoming routing updates for Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) routing protocols, use the validate-update-source command in router configuration mode. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is applicable only to RIP and IGRP. The software ensures that the source IP address of incoming routing updates is on the same IP network as one of the addresses defined for the receiving interface.

Disabling split horizon on the incoming interface will also cause the system to perform this validation check.

Examples

The following example configures a router not to perform validation checks on the source IP address of incoming RIP updates:

router rip

network 10.105.0.0

Specifies RIP Version 1.

2

Specifies RIP Version 2.

Defaults

The software receives RIP Version 1 and Version 2 packets, but sends only Version 1 packets.
